fall is here!
OK... so I am finally catching up. Granted who actually knows how long I will have as Adelaide's nap is sure to come to an end once I am in the thick of this post.... (sure enough... she did.)
To recap our lives:
Addie: Busiest (almost) 14 month old ever! She likes to feed me goldfish and then take them away from my mouth at the last minute and then laugh at me! I love it!! She can say please in sign language! It is sooo cute! She can show you where her nose is (then proceed to pick it). She show you where her tummy is. She can put money down her shirt. She puts herself to sleep. She goes up and down the stairs. She knows how to match shoes. She is trying to run (HELP!)
Her super cute skirt I got at Old Navy for $4.00!She says:
"Momma"
"Dadda"
"bah" (translation: bird, usually at birds too!)
"boo" (when we are running around the house and she scares us)
"mmmmmmm" (cow).
She loves:
Mac-n-cheese
cottage cheese
grapes
strawberries
yogurt
goldfish
nutter butters
milk
ice
ice water
straws
forks
feeding herself
Driving a Tractor with Darci at the Zoo! Mike says: "She's even doing it right!"ALYSE: I started nannying my friends little girl who is three months older than Adelaide. They are so cute together! But it is like having twins.... nuff said. I have been getting into some crafty things! I made a pumpkin out of a book. I made a giant spider out of a milk jug, pipe insulation and duct tape. I want to play my violin more. I read as often as I can. I think in the last two months I finished 4 books. WAY better than TV. I like to sew (a lot!) now. I am about to make two skirts (THANKS KATIE!) I am now the Brier Ward primary secretary. I am sad to leave Young Womens, but I love the little kids.
On Sunday I was taking roll, and I went into nursery. The kids are too cute! I started looking through my notebook and I saw Adelaide's name on the "Coming into Nursery" list. I am so sad. My baby is getting older!
I love staying at home more and more every day! I love my Addie!!
Mom: you were right
when you said you didn't know how much I loved you until I had Addie. I knew you would be, but you are right. AND I am sorry for all those years of making fun of you for wanting new mixers, washers, dryers, etc. I found one and I am in love. The Whirlpool Vantage.. YOU MUST CLICK>>>(http://www.whirlpool.com/site.jsp?sectionId=1344).... I go to Lowes just to look and touch. *sigh*
Addie giving kisses to Great Grandma and Grandpa Doty! MIKE: Busy, busy, busy. BUT happy! I love him and how hard he works so I can stay home! Work is getting better for him! He even was able to get three days off at Thanksgiving and we get to go to Rexburg! YAY for Mike getting to go home! He puts up with my non-shower days (which happens more than I should admit, but hey! I put on lip gloss and a headband!!) He goes biking a lot lately which is soo good for him!
And he is pretty much counting down the days until the ski hill opens up! He was so excited a few weeks ago that we outfitted Adds with a snow bib, jacket, hat, and mittens! Now, we are looking for boots. And she will get her first pair of skis at the end of the season when they are on sale. And she will probably head down the hill for the first time towards the end of March!
Mike loves when Adelaide runs to him when he comes home! It is the cutest thing ever!
our most recent family picture on our hike up Twin Falls in the mountains. SO much FUN!
